Will Always Be Mine

Will Always be Mine (Dedicated to Funom Makama.) Oh, Africa you will always be mine; To me absolutely and totally divine: I am elated with each and every inch; Hard to believe so myself did pinch. Is majestic Africa all really for real? Picture perfect and seeming so surreal; My mind and ears would hear a melody Of sounds and memories meant for me. Animals ate grass; saw Sahara with sand, Often appearing to be in a far off land; Raging river turned into some small stream; Water was from God who is truly supreme. God with His eloquence eventually will urge My body with sin He had started to purge; I am a poor paddle being put in God's boat, And my sins downstream soon started to float.
